    BB RECRUITING Portal Shopping

    In response to MTSU players getting some type of NIL package, Jaylen Gregory has something and I think Savannah does also. Tamia just signed up with APEX Athlete Management and when you check them out, they initially help with NIL agreements with athletes. You could eventually see this...

    BB RECRUITING Portal Shopping

    FYI: Charity was on the bench until her senior season and she came off - switched positions and was an awesome post player. I agree that they will try to get players that fit after being burned by the Hayes sisters.

    BB RECRUITING Portal Shopping

    Getting a Senior with no eligibility left would ease Jada into things, and also give us some backup in case she has complications. They seem to be trying to be very careful. They want her around for a long time and limiting her playing time at first seems like a good idea.

    BB RECRUITING Portal Shopping

    The reason I said that the players may like that 95% time is that Calipari was talking about one year he had 10 great players and decided to platoon everyone. He said he took a major recruiting hit for the next 3-4 years because of it. Players didn't want to play 20 minutes. I know...

    BB RECRUITING Portal Shopping

    I really only saw Elina play against us in person and away, but she looked unstoppable. She may have just been getting up for our game, but she did look good. I have decided that Coach Insell would play 7 maybe 8 players if he had the first and second team for CUSA as his players. Again...

    BB RECRUITING Portal Shopping

    Maybe just the association with LSU players affected my opinion? She will go for the big bucks though. I would say it would be substantial. If it came down to it and Insell thought she would be a good fit, of course she is very talented. When she played at MTSU, I don't think I have...

    BB RECRUITING Portal Shopping

    I like to think that Insell doesn't look only at talent, but chemistry for the team. With the experience of previous transfers that were uber-talented but team poison, I think the coaches will be extra careful. Hailey will probably go for the big NIL bucks anyway.

    LADY RAIDER BB Middle Tennessee vs LSU Sunday on ABC

    I forgot to mention Jada. She seemed to be the only one that could hang onto a rebound once she had her hands on it. Normally I am hollering to put Iullia in, but yesterday I was saying put in Jada. I hope she doesn't leave via the portal either. She is talented.

    LADY RAIDER BB Middle Tennessee vs LSU Sunday on ABC

    Here is some of my sore loser stuff. In addition to the referees calling more fouls, several of the LSU players started flopping every time there was a breeze. In fact, it seemed as Angel Reese was involved heavily in the flops. She started off the 2nd half tripping on her own feet...

    LADY RAIDER BB #11 Middle Tennessee vs #6 Louisville, 12:30PM CT, Friday, March 22, 2024 (ESPN2)

    Great, great win. When they got behind by 18, I was wanting to hide and curse Hillary Van Lith for awakening a giant. That comeback at the end of the second quarter was amazing and showed real grit. I am very proud of them, and Hillary was right.

    LADY RAIDER BB No Respect

    I think most people go with what they have heard us do in the tournament and give us little thought other than that. If you were filling out a bracket, you would look at the record 29-4 and see who we lost to tournament teams. Your immediate conclusion would be we had an easy record and...

    LADY RAIDER BB No Respect

    In a very similar setup in 1982, MTSU men had never won an NCAA game and were paired up against Kentucky. If you want to talk about norespect we were in the OVC and the committee wanted Kentucky to play Louisville. It was a forgone conclusion, so much so that Louisville fans were buying...

    BASKETBALL Where were you when MTSU took down Michigan State?

    I was at the game. It was probably the most perfect MTSU game I have ever seen or ever will. I took pictures of the scores at different points when the game started because I wanted to show that we had led Michigan State that much at least at that time. We kept thinking that this...

    SpaceRaider, If no one has said it before, we really appreciate all you do to keep things posted and updated all the time on this board. It really helps. Now, lets go Lady Raiders.

    LADY RAIDER BB conference honors

    He obviously deserved it. My best bet is that other coaches and teams thought of Insell as running up the score keeping the top 6 and 7 players in most of the time, whereas on the other hand we know that he has always done this. There are a lot of new coaches in the league that don't...

    I was extra proud of the hustle, defense and toughness. Liberty is a very good team.

    LADY RAIDER BB CUSA Tournament in Huntsville, AL

    To explain a little more, we are going to drive down Wednesday morning to see the MTSU in the first game and the second place team later on in the afternoon. We thought if the men were in the 8th and 9th spot, they might be playing the number one team later that night. The men have turned...

    LADY RAIDER BB Middle Tennessee (22-4, 12-0) @ Western Kentucky (15-12, 6-6) ESPNU, 11AM, Saturday, February 24, 2024

    I am not sure, but since they are doing a Next-Level lunch also and the last home game is at 9:30am, they may have decided the one in the afternoon would be better attended.
